Hello!
I am planning our first trip to Greece for September 2026. I would like to fly in to Athens and then leave the same day for an island. All the islands I'm considering have multiple flights available but there's also multiple ferry departures. It seems logical to just fly since we'll already be at the airport. I would be building in a good buffer time in between our flights... Anyway, is there some reason it would be better to take a ferry instead of flying? If someone can just confirm my instincts. Thanks!

Since you will be at the airport, I would take the most convenient flight. During our visit to Greece, there was a one day ferry strike which required last minute travel adjustment with a mad dash to the airport. Save yourself the hassle of leaving the airport and going to the ferry port.

Ewww, that's a factor I never thought of. Thank you!
